I think this is a backdoor way of doing that.
I’m not sure I agree with the opportunity zones either, because I don’t want the government picking winners and losers.
It seems though, that Cain’s approach is to say if a state meets certain critera (right to work, eliminate minimum wage, school vouchers) then the area autmaticly becomes an opportunity zone.
What’s to keep say Alabama from doing that all over the state, and making the entire state an “opportunity zone”?
This the carrot/stick approach the fed govt. always uses to get the states to do something. I’m not sure I agree with it, but at least it’s not the federal govt picking winners or losers.
Some people are misunderstanding this tenet of his plan as a freebie, it is merely a tax cut/incentive.
One huge advantage of it is how much power it drains from the democrats - Unions and Education are the two biggest strongholds democrats have on Americans - including future generations.
